Robard Corporation

Robard offers ongoing medical monitoring and nutritional education with a pre and post-surgical weight loss
protocol that supports the goals of bariatric surgery and can be seamlessly integrated into your treatment plans.

Incorporating preoperative weight loss into your bariatric treatment plan can reduce the size of the liver and
increase likelihood of candidacy for bariatric surgery, improve operability in patients, increase postoperative
weight loss at one year, reduce surgical complications, and decrease operative time and facilitate the
procedure. Using medically-supervised weight loss protocol, such as one of Robard’s proven Very Low Calorie
Diet programs, for as little as six weeks prior to surgery has been shown to achieve an average weekly weight
loss of 3 to 5 pounds. For more information, reach us at (800) 222-9201 or visit
